At last justice is done. I will never understand why the judge in the original trial preferred to take Sheridan's word over the multiple witnesses who spoke against him. And typical as ever this politican blames the media.

I hate to be pedantic, but Sheridan was NOT Labour. Indeed that would be just about the biggest insult you could pay to him! He called himself a Scottish Socialist and was very very far indeed to the Left of the Blair Labour Party.

What's the difference between Sheridan and Cable? Only that Cable's different versions did not include one in the witness box. The political class are all the same: publicly they say what they think they ought to say and appear to do what they think they ought to do, but privately, they are selfish as demonstrated by the Telegraph's expenses reports.

Only by the people taking power from the politicians will this country ever get anywhere. And I say the people taking power because the political class, in the words of John le Carre, "think they are the school prefects of the world"
